How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Kassala is based on the astronomical sunset at 15.4°N, 36.4°E. This timing already accounts for atmospheric refraction, marking the moment the sun appears to dip below the horizon.

Sunset Calculation: Times are generated using precise astronomical calculations based on Kassala's latitude, longitude, elevation, and timezone.
Optional Buffers: Communities can apply +3, +5, or +15 minute safety margins if desired, though these are for personal or local preference rather than necessity.

Local Confirmation: While our Iftar times are accurate, we recommend checking with your local mosque for any community-specific adjustments or moon sighting variations.

How Iftar Times Work

Atmospheric Refraction

Earth's atmosphere bends light, causing the sun to appear slightly higher on the horizon than its actual position. This atmospheric refraction effect is already accounted for in our calculations, giving you the precise moment when the sun appears to cross below the horizon.

Kassala's Elevation

At 507m above sea level, Kassala's elevation affects when sunset occurs. Higher elevations see the sunset slightly later than lower areas. This elevation adjustment is included in all our calculations.

Astronomical Calculations

Iftar times are calculated using precise astronomical algorithms from NOAA, based on Kassala's exact location (15.45°N, 36.40°E), timezone (Africa/Khartoum), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Why does Iftar in Kassala differ from Gedaref?

Compared to Gedaref, Kassala has sunset 4 minutes later than Gedaref due to its more easterly position, and 98m lower elevation results in a slightly earlier sunset, and being further north means it has longer fasting days during Ramadan. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Kassala is at latitude 15.45°, while Gedaref is at latitude 14.03°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
